Removing or archiving a proof on a document does not free up a proof license for your organization. To prevent proofs from generating on unwanted documents, cancel them when you upload the document. For more information about canceling proofs, see "Canceling Proofs."

After a proof is removed, all data associated with the proof is deleted from the Workfront system and cannot be recovered.

Navigate to the document that contains the proof that you want to remove.

Select the document for which you want to remove the proof, then click Remove Proof.

Confirm​ removal of the proof.

Archiving and Unarchiving a Proof

To access an archived proof:

Click Proof.A page is displayed, explaining that the proof has been archived.
